The Chinese character 疯 (fēng) for "crazy" or "mad" is composed of two parts: the radical 心 (xīn) for "heart" or "mind" and the phonetic component 风 (fēng) for "wind". The combination of these two components suggests the idea of a mind that is disturbed or in a state of turmoil, like a strong wind blowing through the heart. This character has been used in Chinese literature and philosophy for centuries to describe various forms of mental illness or emotional distress.
